Northampton Saints bolster centre options with Luke Eves

Northampton Saints have bolstered their options in the centres with the short-term signing of Luke Eves.

Eves, 26, arrives at Franklins Gardens from Bristol and will offer cover for the midfield while the Rugby World Cup is on. Eves has played in the Aviva Premiership before having had a two-year stint at Newcastle.

Director of rugby Jim Mallinder said: "With a number of players away with their countries for the World Cup we felt we needed some more depth in the squad.

"Luke is a good player who has plenty of experience in the Aviva Premiership and in the Championship, and we believe he has the quality to be able to contribute as our season gets underway."
